I am mostly moved in to my new apartment in the Avenues. There will be just the big stuff on Friday or Saturday.

I hate moving.

So I was just introduced to this site where the author posts pictures from pretentious furniture/home magazines and pretends to be the married couple Elaine and Gary who live there and write captions for the pictures they take of their home (does that make sense?). There are some gems. Here are some of my favorites.

I made a delicious whole wheat basil bread with fresh basil from my plant that I haven't managed to kill yet. Yummy.

I found this on a friend's blog thought it was hilarious.

Here are my results for the several chunks of my thesis I submitted:

I write like
James Joyce

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

Ha! I wish. Some of my other scholarly writing has gotten Kurt Vonnegut and David Foster Wallace. Hum.

Here are results for my journal (the parts that are less likely to do harm if spread somewhere on the internet by some chance-though the site claims it won't-you never know):

I write like
Cory Doctorow

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

I don't even know who that is except that it is not the really famous Doctorow that they read in lit classes. After submitting several more in addition to those previous, it seems that my personal writing can get nothing but this guy.


I submitted some Joyce and here is what he got:

I write like
James Joyce

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

Whew. At least they for sure got it right that time :)

My neice got married this week. Everything went well and they looked very happy.

I have to give a talk today on developing Christ-like attributes. I'm choosing developing humility.

In my BYU-I job I learned how to make a video and audio podcast using Jing (cause it's free). Contrary to Bono who loves the sound of his own voice, I don't like how mine sounds and so I will definitely have to get used to doing that for my online classes. It is a very convenient way to convey a message though. I can see it coming in handy for teaching about mechanics or MLA.

Here is a screen capture just for fun.

BYU-I just called me and asked me to teach another section. I'm officially (the merest slice over) part-time for them. I thought for sure I would just get one section and they would see how I do, but they gave me another one. Wahoo.

I thought I would post this little Captain Picard gem.

I got an email from BYU-I today and was informed that I will be teaching for them in the Fall. It's official-I got the job!
